Centrifuge (disambiguation)

A centrifuge is a device that uses centrifugal force to separate its components.

Centrifuge may also refer to:

  • Various types of centrifuges
    • Laboratory centrifuge, a laboratory equipment which spins liquid samples at high speed
    • Peeler centrifuge, a device that performs by rotating filtration basket in an axis
    • Gas centrifuge, a device that performs isotope separation of gases
    • Zippe-type centrifuge, a gas centrifuge designed to enrich the rare fissile isotope uranium-235
    • Decanter centrifuge, a device that employs a high rotational speed to separate components of different densities
    • Large diameter centrifuge, any centrifuge extending several meters
    • Ultracentrifuge, a centrifuge optimized for spinning a rotor at very high speeds
    • Solid bowl centrifuge, a type of centrifuge that uses the principle of sedimentation
    • Conical plate centrifuge, a type of centrifuge which provides a parallel configuration of centrifugation spaces
    • Screen scroll centrifuge, a filtering or screen centrifuge
    • Pusher centrifuge, a type of filtration technique
  • The machine used for high-g training of aviators by simulating g-force
  • Centrifuge (camps), a series of Christian summer camps
  • Spin (physics), the spin direction in quantum mechanics
  • Various manufacturing techniques:
    • Centrifugal casting (industrial), a casting technique typically used to cast large thin-walled cylinders such as pipes
    • Centrifugal casting (silversmithing), a casting technique typically used to make small, highly detailed forms
    • Spin casting, a technique to produce small, detailed castings
    • Spin casting (mirrors) a technique for constructing large parabolic mirrors
